Guests say
14a Courtenay Street is a well-liked cottage in Salcombe, Devon, praised for its central location, beautiful views, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness and the convenience it offers for exploring the town and enjoying local amenities. Some concerns about maintenance and comfort in certain areas are noted, but overall, the property provides a pleasant stay for visitors.
The property generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with several guests finding it spotless upon arrival. However, there are isolated complaints about specific areas such as a dirty fridge, mug, and patio, which slightly lower the score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the town centre, beautiful views, and quietness, despite some parking challenges. Its convenience for attending local events and exploring Salcombe is a highlight for many guests.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While some guests find the property cosy and welcoming, others report issues with dampness, a small en-suite, and an uncomfortable mattress in the double bedroom, which affects the overall comfort level.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the kitchen. However, there are several mentions of the need for refurbishment and maintenance, such as updating decor, addressing damp issues, and fixing minor damages, which impacts the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

So close to the Main Street and everything near by. Parking was so simple and a short walk away. So much regeneration in the area, seems like every house was having an upgrade or maintenance. The property had a small damp patch on the main bedroom wall (but it is winter) and a small area of loose plaster at the top of the stairs. (Donât let this put you off the place is gorgeous and the view amazing) Enjoyed it so much, weâre already of thinking of booking again.

Well equipped with everything you could need . Fab kitchen with lovely views . Massive main bedroom and bathroom with underfloor heating . My husband and I stayed in the smaller twin room which was comfy. The shower room is small but we managed at our height if 5ft 5. Perfect for a stay in salcombe would recommend Nice outdoor seating area as well

Parking arrangements worked well for us. The accommodation was great for the two of us and everything was spotless. It was well equipped to a very high standard. The little patio provided great views and a welcome outside space. We had everything we needed for a very relaxing break. Only problem we found was that DVD player connected to the TV OK, but didnât seem to read the discs. Overall a very positive experience. Thanks.
